Brief Answer:
see detailed description

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX there are several parameters which can make an educated guess about likely mode of delivery.
There are more chances of normal delivery -
- young age (less than or equal to 30)
- average height and built (more than equal to 5 feet)
- cephalic presentation of the baby (head down near the uterus mouth)
- no complications like placental abnormalities or very high blood pressure
- average weight of the baby ( less than or equal to 3.5 kg has higher chances of normal delivery)
- previous normal delivery.
All these things are very predictive but best assessment can be made by examination by an experienced gynecologist and thus assessing the adequacy of space for delivering the baby.
In case you have any other question I will be happy to help.
